Annexation

What Are Your Thoughts on Annexation?

Over the last few months, you’ve probably read some articles and heard people discussing annexation. But what does it really mean? And why are these discussions taking place?

Sturgeon County and the City of St. Albert are exploring annexation, as both municipalities are facing growth pressures.

Annexation enables sustainable, long-term community planning as well as planning certainty for residents, municipalities, developers and landowners that is consistent with the Edmonton Metropolitan Region Growth Plan. The annexation would provide enough land for the City’s long-term residential and non-residential growth aspirations.

The maximum potential annexation area is approximately 2,180 hectares; however, as the project progresses, the overall area considered for annexation may decrease.

Annexation is a process that adjusts the boundary between two municipalities. In this instance, it’s about land currently governed by Sturgeon County being transferred to the jurisdiction of the City of St. Albert. Annexation does not change the private ownership of the land.
